Well, I'm Not Afraid To

Jews Are The Most Liberal, Scrappy, Civil-rightsy People There Are.

I Have No Religion, But I Can't Escape Being Extremely Jewish Ethnically - That Is, Culturally. In Other Words, I'm Not Religious, But I Worry And I'm Neurotic. And I'm Very Good With Money.

I Don't Believe In Jesus Or God. But I Do Believe That Fundamentalists In Religion Or Anything Else Are Bad, And That They Have More Hate Than Love.

I Think Maybe I Became Funny Because As A Kid, I Was A Jew In A Town Of No Jews, And Being Funny Just Instinctively Came About As A Way To Put People At Ease Around Me.

And Then Before Going Back For My Sophomore Year, I Decided To Change My Major To Arts And Sciences, And My Dad Cut A Deal With Me: He Said If I'd Quit School He'd Pay My Rent For The Next Three Years, As If I Were In School.
